Abstract
A critical analysis is made concerning to the use of statistical correlation in the modelling of metal distribution among its geochemical supports in a non‐polluted bay. A misunderstanding of metal dynamics in the studied area would take place if detailed chemical/mineralogical compositional mass‐balance of soils and sediments were not performed before the use of statistical correlations.Keywords
